It's Friday evening, and the US is preparing for a long three-day weekend, often considered the official start of summer here.

So what's a pasty white nerd to do? You can't go out on the beach, because the goodlooking people will laugh at you, and kick sand in your face.

I'm not bitter.

But now you _can_ do something: you can download the latest -rc kernel, and smile smugly to yourself, knowing that you are running the latest and greatest on your machine. And suddenly it doesn't even matter that summer is coming, because you can just sit in the basement, and close the blinds, and bask in the warm light from your LCD, rather than the harsh glare of the daystar..

The geeks with embedded hardware can consider themselves doubly special (and not just because your mothers told you you are), because we've got updates to ARM, SH and Blackfin.

What more could you possibly want? Some ATA updates? USB suspend problem solving? Infiniband? DVB and MMC updates? Network drivers and some fixes for silly network problems? Yeah we got them!

So stop worrying about those dangerous ultraviolet rays, and instead get your Vitamin D in the form God (and the pharmaceutical industry) intended: small easily swallowed pills. Beaches are overrated anyway, the sand gets into the laptop fan and soon it won't work.

May you have a great summer,

Linus
